WOVEN Theatre 2019

WOVEN is an interactive performance that links the audience, performers and the environment together to create a shared experience. A presentation of textured work, safe, inclusive, intuitive, interactive and sensory in nature. Based primarily on a locally inspired love story, the tale has evolved and taken from its roots into, a boarder universal context.

Produced and directed by Melody Shotade, devised over a duration of 6 weeks with the support of local performers, and narrators, Inclusive Arts Practitioner Nilgun Guven, Choreographer Trudy Radburn, Sound Producer Lisa Greenaway AKA LAPKAT and Artist Support Marjetka- Krizanic.

First performed at The Glade, Gasworks Arts Park, Melbourne, Australia, Saturday 2 March 2019.

Sound design for 6 speakers (3 groups) surrounding the audience and roving performers. Sounds moved in a horizontal, circular flow around them. During the live performance, live narration was mixed with the sounds and music.

This project has been supported by The City of Port Phillip through the Cultural Development Fund.
